An Homage to Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe

Christian Brylle photographs himself with Freja Beha Erichsen for V Man in an incredibly well thought out homage to the unrivaled poetic lifetime bond of youth and art shared by Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe. Inspired by their beautifully raw sessions with Norman Seeff in 1969, these photos capitalize on the intimacy shared by the pair of friends and lovers mixed with elements of androgyny and fashion, key parts of their historic narrative. For more insight on this brilliant story, read Patti Smith's "Just Kids," you won't regret it.
